I went with the Detroit game, but not because it was the most recent.. They didn't win the Philly game and in while the Toronto game was good, he was playing with Malkin then. Plus, he scored a career-best 4 points in this game.

Tonight, he was centering his own line and while he had support from his wingers, I felt he was more assertive in this one, more responsible for his own success. The steal on Datsyuk that led to the winner was a tremendous play, even more so considering the guy he stole it from.

Also, he accomplished what he did in the Toronto game against the likes of Bryan McCabe and Andrew Raycroft. Much more impressive to do it against Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom, and company.

Plus, in the Leafs game, they blew a lead and his scoring was spread out. Still big on his part, but in tonight's game, he controlled the game throughout the comeback, and created the winner. Much more vital to this win than that one.

One of the few things I dislike about this board -- way too many perfect people. It's last night somewhere in the world. Maybe the guy lives in Nova Scotia. Can't we just have a conversation without all the nitpicking?
